How do i disable trackpad on ProBook 6460b???

I am using windows 7 in 32-bit and I want to turn off tring Trackpad because I can't help hitting it by accident as i type. I alos prefer to use an external mouse anyway. Please help.

The best way is install the Synaptics Touchpad driver:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
The Synaptics icon will then appear in the taskbar, and you can click on it to open up the Properties window. Go to the Device Settings tab, where you can either disable the "Synaptics Luxpad 7.5" altogether, or highlight it and click settings where you can double click on the "PalmCheck-Enhanced ACM" and adjust those properties to make it work for you better. You might find that just installing the driver alone will fix the problem of the touchpad accidentally being triggered -- it did for me.
Alternatively, you may be able to disable the default Mouse PS-2 driver in the device manager, but not sure if that might end up disabling the trackbutton as well (or instead).
Good luck... I have not been happy with this laptop overall, and am planning on returning it because the video connector is wobbly/intermittent and for some reason they didn't design it with the standard holes to thread the screws on a standard VGA connector into (!?!); I think my org also discontinued support for it because of numerous problems users experienced.

How to disable trackpad on Boot Camp?

How do I disable my trackpad on bootcamp? My trackpad (clicker?) is pressed in, so sometimes it goes crazy and hightlights stuff or clicks stuff randomly.. I just want to disable it. I know you can do it on the osx, but I have no idea how to do it on boot camp.. it would definitely help out if I can disable it.. because it just makes typing and doing things on windows very difficult. Thanks!

You could always just change your fstab file to denote that you don't want that particular mount to be checked...although that wouldn't fit in with your "after a certain number of times" idea.
If you don't mind my asking, why are you looking to do this? Since fsck checks the integrity of the filesystem it's trying to mount, and it usually doesn't take too long, why would you want to check it sometimes, and not others...I think it's extremely beneficial for unexpected filesystem problems caused by things like power-outtages, etc. Especially if you don't reboot too often, I guess I don't see the advantage...

How to turn on trackpad without mouse

I have disabled my trackpad and use a mouse to operate the computer. I have left my mouse behind and now cannot use the computer because the trackpad is off. Does anyone know how to turn the trackpad back on without the mouse?
Crucially I can get into system prefs and then get to accessibility but I cannot uncheck the box "ignore built in trackpad...etc" .
Can anyone help? This is quite urgent.
Thanks
Will

There's no easy way, but if it's such a large email that it takes a while to send, if you go into Airplane Mode (Settings, and it's the top option) as soon as you power on, you should be fine. Don't forget, the phone has to connect to the 3G network, Mail has to initialise, find the mail server, handshake and figure out what needs to be done before any mail gets sent.
Alternatively, if you want zero risk, find a location with no 3G signal (subway/underground, elevator/lift etc) and switch on the phone there

How can I disable 4-finger swipe left/right?

How can I disable 4-finger swipe left/right? I map these to far more useful keystrokes in BTT; my mappings still work but it also switches, rendering them effectively useless. This was working for me in Lion until I did an update a couple of days ago. Every other gesture is in trackpad config except these 2.

That actually was disabled in my settings for me so I didn't think so. But I went and enabled/disabled it with no result. I then switched it to 3 fingers from 4 fingers and back again and now it's gone. Knowing what to search for I found this thread, it seems other have had the same problem; thanks for pointing me in the right direction:

How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

Hi,
This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
Edit.
I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.

How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?

Someone else posted ths question a month ago, but still no answers. Anyone?
How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?
Windows XP, SP3 operating system recently re-installed so I also reinstalled my printer software. Now, for some reason, each time I turn my computer on, my HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one photosmart premier software opens. It is not in my startup. This slows down my computer terribly, which is why I never used the program before my re-install. How can I disable this feature? I only print, I don't use it for photos.
Any help here is appreciated.

Run msconfig.exe from the start button (type in msconfig). When it comes up go to the Startup tab and find and deselect the HP product you do not want to start. Save and reboot computer. Now try.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
The operation system is Windows XP.
They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash. You are left with no video signal to the monitor. Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
We have tried:
Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
There seems to be two ways to work round this issue. One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows. The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC? Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
Thanks in advance
Daniel.

Hi.
I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
Thanks.

How do I disable airplay on an older macbook pro?

I have an older macbook pro (model is mid-2010) with Mountain Lion installed.
When my Apple TV is on, my computer keeps trying to connect to it via Airplay. But Airplay is not supported on my macbook pro and the sound stops working.
How do I disable my Mac from connecting to Airplay?

Do this test with the Apple TV on:
If you go into System Preferences > Sound > Output, which line is selected?
If the Apple TV is selected, can you select Internal Speakers? Will it stay on?
With Internal Speakers selected, do you get any sound output?
